Rides from my past

I rounded up some photos from the '70's of bikes the I rode in that period.

1969 Yamaha AT-1 moded to CT-1 175cc in what I think was my first desert race







On the CT-1 at Riverside Raceway combined dirt and track scrambles



A few years later on a Suzuki RM250B

Awesome pics! Awesome memories I'm sure, too.

Honda CA 110 Sport 50.  What I learned to ride and work on.  My Dad got it for 50 bucks from a guy that brought it back from the Philippines.

What the AT-1 looked like when I got it.

1970 Kawasaki G31M Centurion.  Bought it cheap with a ruined top end like many of them did because folks didn't use proper oil in the fuel.  Rebuilt it with G4 cylinder ported to G31M spec but it never had the power of the original.

My first 250 and last Husky.  I never really liked the bike.

1997 XR250R that I have been riding (along with the XR500R) for the past 5 years.  It is in great condition and runs well.

1991 XR200R that was a mess when I bought it to teach my teenage kids to ride.  Substantial restoration and we still use it frequently.

1984 XR500R Great original condition bike with some suspension and cosmetic upgrades.  Great bike for the desert.  Recently sold and replaced by WR250R

1971 CB350K3 Current restoration project.  Just about complete except for painting.

Moments so perfectly captured
So memorable
Nostalgia indeed

My first bike, Technomoto 50cc , I rode this from 2 years & 11 months ! ( my da was into bikes). Check out the hardware!

I wish I grew up with a dirt bike, was mid-40's when I got my first DS bike

Yeah , I was lucky, my dad loved bikes and got me hooked up early. For anyone interested it is an 1971 Italian Tecnomoto Paciughino 50cc. I’ve recently returned to the two wheels after a 25 year hiatus and absolutely loving it!
